DECOLONIAL.IST is a non-profit project created by a group of enthusiasts. Below is what we genuinely need help with right now. For any of these, write to contact@decolonial.ist.

Chechen translation

We need a translator into Chechen (noxçiyn mott): we are preparing a Chechen version of the site, and it cannot be done without a native speaker. If you speak Chechen, or know someone willing to help with the translation, please write to us at contact@decolonial.ist.

Books and sources

To develop the domain on the colonization of the Nokhchi (Chechens), we need scholarly publications that are hard to obtain. We are currently looking for:

  • "The History of Chechnya from Ancient Times to the Present Day", edited by Movsur Ibragimov – any volumes

If you have these books in electronic or paper form, or are willing to help us purchase them, please get in touch: contact@decolonial.ist.

Expert review

We need a professional historian – a specialist in Ukrainian history and Russian colonial policy – to review the Ukrainian domain: fact-checking, wording, and completeness of coverage. Later on, the same kind of review will be needed for the domain on the colonization of the Nokhchi (Chechens), which is currently under development.

Our plans include documenting the history of the colonization of other peoples that have suffered from Russian aggression, and we are looking for historians willing to join this work. If you are a historian, or can put us in touch with one, please write to us at contact@decolonial.ist.
